General d'Andlan more amusing it turns out
that General d'Andlan had an intimate ac-
quaintancc with two American ladies, named
Harriet Hare and her daughter Miss Emma
Hare, who are also in the decoration scan
dals. These occupied very luxuriously fur
nished apartments at No. Rue Boceador,
near the Champs Elyses. Forty police agents
are now in full chase after these Harcs, but
they seemed to have left Paris year ago,
and tho police have so far been unable to get
upon their scent.
The way in which the Parisians received
the news of Boulanger's arrest proves un-
mistakably that the "brave generar' has
fallen many peg in popularity. Even his
own supporters, Rochefort, Clemenceau,
Emmanuel, Arnia, acknowledge that, judged
from a military point of view, General Ferron
had no other choice left open to him but to
arrest the once popular hero, and M. Francis
Maynard in to-day's Figaro hits the nail
exactly on the head and says what ninety
nine out of hundred Frenchmen really feel.
M. Maynard writes "Ex-army officers
demand that General Boulanger
should be put on the retired list. l
think the slight punishment that General
Ferron has inflicted is much more spirtuele
and in exact proportion to the fault commit
ted. 1t required head far strongerand far
better balanced than General Boulanger's to
resist the avalanche of popularity that was
showered upon him. When he denied hay
ing written the famous letters to the Duke
d'Aumale he compromised, to my
mind, the dignity of his profes-
sion much more than his recent COM
ments on acts of his superior officer
His friends tell us with tears in their eyes
that he bows his head in silence before the
punishment inflicted upon him but, great
heavens, what else could he do! Suppose he
resigned, why then he would no longer be a
general, he would no longer have his famous
black horse nor his white plume and even his
beautiful beard would become merely a vivil-
ians beard and be no longer of the slightest
use to him. Non, non, he won't resign. He
will come beck to Paris about eagter hol-
days, perhaps euen New Years day and the
gobe menches of the capital will continue to
admire themselves in the person of their
hero made after their own image, like them
selves mediocre bavard and tapajeurs."
Quite a stir was made in American and
English colonies in Paris by the news pub
lished in the New York Evening Telegram
and cabled to the Herald's European editor
about Messrs. Brentanos intentions of start
ing branch establishment in Paris. This
morning Herald reporter, walking along
the boulevard des Capac!nis met Mr.. Arthur
Brentano just as the latter was buying a
European Herald at the newspaper Kiosque
in front of the Jockey club. Mr.. Brentana
was surrounded by several New
Workers who asked him, "when
is the great book shop going
to start!" Bentane replied, Every soon. 1
have just been hunting for premises We
mean business" We'll" was the respon-
sve chorus, "rm glad there's no mistake
about itn
"Where do you think of settling7" the re-
porter asked.
Brentane said, 'I have not yet decided,
but symewhere near the Place de i Opera.
IT'S the only quarter now suitable. The Rue
d Rivolis is a thing Of the past from our
point of view. 1 have my eye fixed on the
place to let next to the Herald"
The reporter asked, when do you think
of beginning operations, Mr.. Brentane!"
"Just as soon as ever 1 can rent place.
Our stock could be here in about three
weeks"
"Have you found any wide felt want for a
new bookseller here!"
quiries At present, you know, there is not
a single bookseller in Paris worthy the name,
as understand the term.''
''Will you cater onlp for Americans?
ooh, dear no. We will have books and
men, Italians Germans, in fact for every
body. No expense will be spared We
mean business"

trenched at the Hotel Binda, has deferred
his journey south and is looking for private
apartments in Paris. He looks far from we'll.
In company with ex-Consul General Walker
he dined the other day with Mr.. Cernuschi,
the well-known bi-metalst, who lives in his
private museum filed with Japanese goods,
Chinese idols, five clawed dragons and un-
limited Buddhas overlooking the Pare Mon
ceau. Mr.. Blaine also had meeting with
M. Clemenceau, whom l saw to-day in his
sumptuous little apartment in the Rue Glenn
ent Marot
"How did you get on with Mr.. Blaine.n
asked.
Every nicely, indeed" replied Mr.. Clemen-
ceau, with a pleasant smle tive talked
about almost everything, and l found that
Mr.. Blaine has some very sound ideas about
European politics."
"Do you like Blaine as well as you like
Gladstoneln asked.
Clemenceau replied, 80, that is pretty
hard question to answer. In fact, don't
know Mr.. Blaine well enough to draw COM
parisons."
